Everyone knew that.

[smacky]

Wow...that's amazing. I love anagrams.

[J]

Also, I just learned (but maybe you all knew this already) that Spiro Agnew is an anagram for "grow a penis."

[JDM]

Julian Sanchez is an anagram for "Injun cash zeal." Gambling problem, libertine?

[J?]

He may be a sellout, but he's a libertarian sellout!

[Rich Ard]

The Wine Commonsewer anagrams to "cite Homer, newswomen!"

If there were another "a" in "smacky", it could anagram to "yam sack".

[J]

I'm an anagram for myself.

[Xavier]

I'm an anagram for "vax ire." Maybe I should join those anti-vaccine kooks?

[Rich Ard]

Also, "Tim Cavanaugh" -> "hum, cat vagina".

Stevo Darkly = "Vestal, dorky."

Vestal: Adj. "Chaste; pure."

Pretty much fits as a description.

Sorry to (semi) thread jack, but I need to share some humorous (IMO), hypothetical newspaper headlines that I created in order to assuage my non-existant self-esteem:

"Supreme Court: Bush taps Datazz"

"'Bush Sucks!' Mad Cox
Exclaims"

"Bush No Fan of T. Watts"

"Bush Licks Balzac
In Friendly Chess Game"

Ok, sorry. You may now resume your all-important discussion.

[coarsetad]

An anagram for my name is:
"a nigger yodler"
just thought I'd share.

[Samantha Fanning O'May Stormie]

This is not an anagram of my name.

[Stretch]

Wow...that's amazing. I love anagrams.

Smacky, have you read Vapor, by Amanda Filipacchi? Though not as good as her first book (Nude Men), it's still excellent and relies heavily on anagrams. In fact, the heroine's name is Anna Graham.

My name becomes FEMALE LICK HER or A CHEF KILLER ME. Fifty bucks if you can guess what my name is.

[Craptastic]

I'm going to guess Hef Male Licker.

[smacky]

Stretch,

No, I haven't read either of those. Nude Men....sounds like a book I would like.

Terrrorific,

Can we take more than one guess? I'd like to win $50.

Is it "Fecal He Milker"?

[Larry Flint]

Is it "Fecal He Milker"?
